Abstract
Two 1-year old primiparous cats were referred to the Small Animal Clinic of Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Istanbul University two weeks apart with a protrusion of a mass through vagina. Depending on clinical and ultrasonographic findings, unilateral uterine prolapse was diagnosed in both of the cats. Uterine prolapse was occured just after the last delivery in Case 1, and was occured 3 days after parturition in Case 2. Ovariohysterectomy was performed following manual reduction and intra-abdominal retraction of the prolapsed tissue in both cats. According to the author’s knowledge, this is the first report of uterine prolapse in a cat 3 days after parturition.
